Rumor has it that Blake Lively will play a high school aged Carrie Bradshaw in the Sex and the City prequel. It's hard to imagine a SATC installment without Sarah Jessica Parker, and Lively seems too pouty and confident to play a pre-credit-card version of kooky, self-sabotaging Carrie. The Gossip Girl star might like fashion just as much as Carrie, but I can't imagine Lively in Bradshaw's get-ups. The HBO series made a fashion imprint with off-beat styling choices and playful looks that verged on costume; when Lively tries to go quirky, she still seems polished and pulled together. Even her famously disheveled hair is a little too "sheveled". As far as the Gossip Girl crew, spunky, reckless Taylor Momsen isn't as likable as Lively, but she's a better fit to play Carrie.
